South West trains are doing there best to disrupt the charity challenge - all of a sudden they are deciding to turn up late each evening! Typical! I got nowhere near the gym last night.

So having needed to have covered 4 miles by now I have infact covered 1/2 a mile, not a good start and with a football match in West London this evening, well it's only gonna get worse.

Oh man!

Big Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far - I really do appreciate it - hopefully I can do the job and get you all to cough up!

Especially Carl - 1p! pah!

So..........the journey begins,

I decided to start off with swimming - I anticipate this to be the hardest discipline in which to cover a lot of ground. Despite being a keen swimmer I know only to well just how hard it is on the entire body.

So last night I swam 32 lengths which equates to 1/2 mile! - Not bad, but crude estimations probably need me to cover 1 1/2 miles a day..........So 1 mile down already!!!!
